The house I gave to Rogan is really Burke's Building. Burke's Building is the oldest extant business office in Pittsburgh, built in 1836. It's not really a home, but it looks like one, a fairly fancy one, which is why I made it the home of Rogan Reynolds, the very sexy millionaire who's trying to help Joss save her mapmaking company at the start of the book.
What I find interesting about the building, however, is that is sits right next to a soaring glass skyscraper, the PPG Building, home to PPG Industries, downtown. I love the contrast between the 19th century building and the late 20th century skyscraper.
By the way, Burke's Building is just down the street from Dollar Bank and its lions.
